Add an EmployeeID dropdown field. The HR manager will select the employees to be reviewed from this dropdown. You can either add the userId in the Options field in the properties panel of the dropdown control or fetch all the users from the tenant through business rule as below:

var event = form.load;
var Users = [];
Users = frevvo.userIds();
EmployeeID.options = Users;

Add a ManagerID dropdown field. The HR manager selects the manager responsible for reviewing this employee. This is the task list you want the Employee Review form to be sent to. The ManagerIDs can be added through the Options property of the dropdown or fetched from the tenant through  Business rules as below:

var event = form.load;
var Managers = [];
Managers = frevvo.userIds(“<Your Manager Role>");
Manager.options = Managers;

Add text controls named FirstName & LastName. The HR manager can enter the employee’s name or they can be fetched through Visual rule builder:

1. Click Rules in the Guided Desinger navigation bar at the top.

2. Click on the + icon for Create New Rule

3. Click Run Builder Button to open the wizard

4. On the first step enter condition EmployeeID in the first dropdown and select Is filled in the second dropdown

5. Click Next, Select FirstName in first Dropdown, ‘to’  in the second dropdown and userFirstName() function in the third.

6. Click Add Action in the right hand top corner.

7. In new added line Select LastName in first Dropdown, ‘to’  in the second dropdown and userLastName() function in the third.

8. Click Next. Add 2 Actions and set the FirstName and LastName to ‘to empty’ in the second dropdown.

9. Click Finish. This rule will automatically populate the FirstName and LastName for the selected EmployeeID.

Add a trigger control named Launch to the form. When the trigger is clicked the form will launch a new Employee Review workflow and put the first step task on the selected Manager’s Task List.

Add a Business Rule to call your Employee Review Workflow via the http.get method. The rule shown below runs when the user clicks a Launch trigger button. The rule appends frevvo _data URL parameters to initialize each Employee Review workflow. The rule allows you to trigger the workflow for a different user or role when you browse the workflow URL.

if (Launch.clicked){
   var myurl = WorkflowToLaunchURL.value;
   http.get(myurl + "&_data=(EmployeeID:{EmployeeID},ManagerID:{ManagerUserId},FirstName:{FirstName},LastName:{LastName})");
}

To test:

1. Open the Employee Review Launch Form. Select a user from the Employee ID dropdown. The First and Last Name fields are populated with the selected user's information. Select a Manager from the Manager ID dropdown. Click the trigger to run the rule.
2. Log out. Log back in with the Manager ID you selected. Verify that an Employee Review workflow task is on the Manager's Task List.
